Though it is true boats do work on land, it is in no way as fast as in water.
Can you post a top down view?
Pictures? Game-mode? Single player/Multi player? Also how about a more descriptive (serving or seeking to describe.) description. Because right now this bug is going nowhere.
Also what game mode are yo in when you have this issue?
Taking some pictures (Using F2) and adding them to this bug post might help Mojang understand your problem.
Are you using mods?
Glad I could help.
as for the block breaking sounds Jeb probably forgot to remove herobrine.

Tired using the F3+A trick of reloading all chunks. It reloaded all the chunks ,but when I ride a horse into the reloaded chunks that were not loading the horse stops moving and I can't get off the horse ,re-logging fixes the frozen horse issue.
Also experiencing this issue on 15w47b. (Windows 8.1 64-bit Survival)
